Actress Natalie Cassidy’s weight loss inspired slimmers after recent pictures showed off her transformation. The Eastenders actress, 35, struggled with her weight, which has yo-yoed especially during pregnancy.

In 2018 Natalie shed a whopping two and a half stone in just three months. At the time she told Now Magazine: “After playing Sonia in EastEnders for 12 years, I thought it’d be good to change my image.

“I was 10st 8lb when I started this diet, but it was my body mass index that scared me. I wasn’t just obese, I was off the scale.”
